A master scholar offers simple wisdom on a gripping tale of personal faith in turbulent times. The full range of human experience is brought to life—intrigue, family relationships, political power, cultural clashes, personal devotion, temptation, suffering and vindication—in the story of a major biblical figure.

Ideally suited to group discussions, personal reading, and the classroom, Westermann’s unique gift of linking biblical study with basic human experience is clearly evident in each of the eleven Bible studies in this book.
